Here's a note from Pensacola trumpeter Bill Moseley with link to Sesame
Street theme played by Toots.

 

Also along same lines,  Pianist/ composer  Bob Dorough ( Born 12-12-1923-age
92) composed a number of multiplication songs for Schoolhouse Rock.  I heard
him teach an adult audience this song at an Arbors Jazz party a few years
back.  See link below as see the number of songs he wrote for Schoolhouse
rock. Bob is still going strong.  He appeared for one-night event in
Pensacola last year.

So he wrote Bluesette!  It's going through my head right now.  He was the
best, as you know as well as anyone.  Didn't know he played the Sesame
Street theme. Who does NOT know it?

 

Here is the full theme:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1dU31XCJUI 

 

His name isn't on credits.  Seems a bit strange since he is the principal
soloist.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uFz_VVw6SM
